Does other insurance pay before Medicaid in a Florida accident?
Yes. Every other insurance is primary to Medicaid. If you are involved in a “motor vehicle” accident in Florida, in most cases personal injury protection (PIP) will pay before Medicaid.
Health insurance pays medical bills before Medicaid. Medicare is required to pay medical bills before Medicaid.
That being said, Medicaid will pay immediately without waiting to see if other insurances are required to pay first.
Does Medicaid pay a fraction of the total billed charges?
Yes. Medicaid normally pays a fraction of the medical provider’s total billed charges.
This can be good for an injured claimant if there is limited bodily injury (BI) liability insurance.
The injured claimant may receive more money in his or her pocket if there is limited bodily injury insurance and the medical providers bill Medicaid.
This is because Medicaid pays a fraction of the bill. Thus, Medicaid’s has a lower lien than other types of insurance.
In many Florida auto accident cases, there is limited bodily injury liability insurance.
Does the Medicaid patient owe the medical provider money after Medicaid pays?
Usually, no. After Medicaid pays (a fraction) of the bill, the patient usually doesn’t have a balance.
